Hi Everyone!

Travelling yesterday saw a delay in sending this weeks CPE email

Hope everyone has been having a great weekend and if you have any
comments or feedback, please let me know- it is always welcome :)

Hi all,
I've several questions about C8. I'm using 8 on my personal NAS and
works very well. I'm running several VMs with centos 8 and noticed
something:

1) Why corosync, pacemaker and pcs are missing on C8? They are only
available on rhel with payments( rhel ha addons)?
2) Why there is only Gnome as available DE? I use centos on my
workstation and I'm a kde-plasma user. XFCE is ok but not gnome.

How do you know when a Linux system has been compromised? 

Every day I watch our systems with all the typical tools, ps, top, who,
I watch firewall / IPS logs, I have logwatch setup and mailing daily
summaries to me and I dive deeper into logs if something looks suspicious.

What am I missing or not looking at that you security gurus are looking at?

I subscribe to the centos and SANS newsletters, and I try to keep
current on all technology with credible sources of articles online and
with the Lynda library.

What other sources of information do you use to stay current about the
latest threat

Has anyone successfully created a PV VM of CentOS 8?

HVM works but it’s seemingly slow.

Hallo,

I m using a samba server on centos 7.
The share ist mounted by windows 7 and a centos client.
Everything is working but touch filename on the share shows the
message "no permission" allthough the file is written.
Has anyone a hint for me?

Hello,

is the broken KVM installation (UEFI) with the updates fixed on C8?

I have to update / install a new System, and don't like to find out I have a
broken system again :-(.

Thanks for a answer,

When RHEL8 and CentOS8 were released, I was looking forward to setting
up SAMBA as a AD DC server for CentOS8. But when I lifed the hood on
the samba.spec file I found the option to build the samba-dc binary rpm
has been disabled for rhel family builds.

Apparently Red Hat does not want to support a unified SAMBA AD DC
environment. I believe we have all of the componentns needed to set up
a fully up-to-date samba-dc binary.

Hi everyone,

Welcome to the CPE team weekly project update mail!

Background:

The Community Platform Engineering group is the Red Hat team combining
IT and release engineering from Fedora and CentOS.

Is this the normal behavior now? Cutting text in gedit and pasting it
into the terminal needs that the source application stays running?

It seems that firefox 68.x, as distributed with CentOS6 updates, no longer allows opening jnlp files with javaws

The "Choose Helper Application" window popping up after selecting "Open with/Other" has a predefined list of applications that cannot be customised.

I'm sure it must be a configuration issue as this works fine with the same browser on other distributions, but what to look for?

# alternatives --display javaws
javaws - status is auto.
link currently points to /usr/java/latest/jre/bin/javaws
/usr/java/latest/jre/bin/javaws - priority 200000
Current `best' version is /usr/

Hello together

were can I find any information on working on Centos 8 for ARM 7 ? I can't
find anything.

Hi Folks,

We're gearing up to build the next minor release of CentOS Linux 8 so I thought
now would be a good time to revisit the conversation we've been having about
what to do with unshipped -devel packages.

Looking for a SRPM I noticed that

<a href="http://vault.centos.org/8.0.1905/PowerTools/Source/SPackages/" title="http://vault.centos.org/8.0.1905/PowerTools/Source/SPackages/">http://vault.centos.org/8.0.1905/PowerTools/Source/SPackages/</a>

is empty (BTW: also no entry in CentOS-Sources.repo)?

Are they merged elsewhere?

I learned from the Centos-devel email list that they aren't sending out
email to centos-announce for updates to CentOS 8, but only updating an RSS
feed.

I think this is a bad idea since no one uses RSS anymore (ducks for cover).
What do others here think of this?

Hello
I installed CentOS 8 on a clean system.I tested a pl2303 ic with different
PID.
If i use HP PID 0x4349,i will receive junk data after connecting, but the
pl2303 PID 0x2303 work normally.

Does someone know about how to fix this situation?
thanks

I've got a Brother HL-L2360D series printer connected to Centos 7.
CUPS lists it as Generic PCL6/PCL Printer - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.2.9 .
When I tell it to print a pdf file, it prints at most the first page.

After powering the thing off and turning it on again,
it printed page 3 of pages 3-6 .
On trying it again, the thing claimed it was receiving data
and printed page 3 of pages 3-6 again.

I've tried to delete the printer so I could add it again,
but CUPS won't let me.
CUPS quit asking for a password, it just says Forbidden.

How do I print the pdf file?
How do I keep this from happening agai

Fedora 31 elected to use a new compression algorithm, "zstd", to
compress RPM's. The result of this unnecessary optimization is that
even commercially supported and long-term-support operating systems,
like RHEL 7 and 8, and CentOS 7 and 8, cannot deconstruct leading edge
Fedora SRPM's, especially the bleeding edge ones from rawhide.

This creates a real backporting problem for people like me who publish
internal backports of leading edge components, or who try to publish
backports from Fedora to EPEL.

Do package updates for C8 get announced via centos-announce list?

If not whats the new communication "channel"?

I see updates but no corresponding announcement ...

Is this a known bug? I cannot get the Snc Status to show progress on the
Channel Repositories -> sync page.

I must tail -f the logfile to monitor progress which is ok but the status
bar works on my 2.8 server.

This is originally from Randy Barlow but for time zone reasons I am
forwarding this onto the devel list as we will reference it in our weekly
update. Thanks Randy for putting this together :)

Hi,

what is the workaround for this?
